Markdown Content-Type

I have no knowledge of any markdown content-type?

* Should there be one?
* What should it be if yes?
* Is there anything expected from a user agent (mua, browser, etc) when meeting this content-type?

I can see for example a story where when a user agent meets

Content-Type: text/$TOBEDEFINED

It renders it at simple plain text when it doesn't know how to render markdown, and interpret it when it knows. One (furture) benefit could be Mail User Agent with knowledge of markdown.
